Microfluidics and FPGA Verification

Tools to Make Life Better
by Amelia Dalton

This week’s Fish Fry is about tools. Not just any kind of tools – tools that can make your life better, your health stronger, and your job a little easier. First up, we check out how a team of researchers from MIT hopes to stem the tide of malaria with a new prototype device that can recognize the electrical properties of infected cells. Next, we chat with Shakeel Jeeawoody from Blue Pearl Software about how their tools can simplify the debug of your next FPGA design. 

Also this week, we look at the newest advances in smart display technology and give away a Gertboard courtesy of Newark element14.

Testing is Not an Afterthought
Jan 13, 2021
Testing is the final step of any manufacturing process, and arguably the most important, and yet it can often be overlooked.  Releasing a poorly tested product onto the market has destroyed more than one reputation for quality, and this is even more important in an age when ...

Common Design Pitfalls When Designing With Hall 2D Sensors And How To Avoid Them

Sponsored by Texas Instruments

This article discusses three widespread application issues in industrial and automotive end equipment – rotary encoding, in-plane magnetic sensing, and safety-critical – that can be solved more efficiently using devices with new features and higher performance. We will discuss in which end products these applications can be found and also provide a comparison with our traditional digital Hall-effect sensors showing how the new releases complement our existing portfolio.
